“Marissa was very responsive and on top of all communications. She gave great updates! My cat tends to get shy around new people, but she really took a liking to Marissa! It was nice knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away.”
“Ana was wonderful - she took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She also sent us regular updates with photos. We were so happy that our cat was in under her care. Thank you so much Ana!”
“Emily was great! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures. My cats are shy with strangers and she was very patient with them! Will gladly book again :)”
“I couldn't be happier with the service Mei Ling provided. From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative and prompt, giving us peace of mind while we were away. She sent the most adorable and high-quality photos of our 10 year old cat, Kermit. You can tell she is a cat mom herself. Five stars all the way- will definitely be booking her again. Thank you!”
“Cat did a great job taking care of my cat! My cat loved having her over and all the attention she gave her. Her communication was great, especially when any issues came up. She also took great pictures, some of my favorite I have of my cat now!”
“Arianna was great! It was the first time we have left our cat for the weekend after adopting him so we were a little nervous. Arianna made us feel comfortable and reassured and we knew our boy was in good hands! She took pictures of him for us to see and keep us updated on each visit as well! We will definitely use Arianna again in the future!”
“An amazing and capable sitter for cats!! One of my cats is very anxious and gets scared so easily, but he seemed more comfortable with Szu than any other sitters I’ve had. I’m really relieved my cats are so receptive to her care. I think the way she interacts with my cats and how she spends time to play with them really made them relax. She also sent so many pictures and videos and I really REALLY appreciated that because I miss my cats when I’m traveling. I 💯 recommend Szu for your pets. She was incredible!”
“Lovely people who truly care for animals! My elderly cat was in very good hands, and I would 100% ask Steve and Tiffany to come and take care of him again.”
“Cooper was an amazing dog sitter for Bailey. She was very communicative, wrote up great summaries for each visit and treated my pup with kindness, care and lots of love. I would highly recommend Cooper for all your pet sitting needs!”
“I’ve booked with Emily a few times and she is consistently communicative, kind and takes great care of our cats! I appreciated how flexible she was for a last minute booking.”
“Annaliese took excellent care of my cat while I was out of the country. She checked in daily and ensured that Kitty Kitty was in good hands, fed, and given some love. Kitty Kitty looked so happy and well taken care of in all of the photos Annaliese sent me.”
“Liz was really wonderful with my cats! She sent timely updates and I could tell that she really cared and interacted a lot with both. My cats seem to love her and that’s enough for me!”
“Lindsey was an absolutely fabulous cat-sitter. She was great with communication (I’m an over protective cat mom) and was very flexible. Our very social cat seemed total at ease after we were gone for six days! Lindsey made sure she got all the love and play she needed (and more!). We will definitely ask Lindsey to come play with Wilma next time we leave town.”
“Solaima visited my three cats 3 times while I was out of town for the weekend and did a great job communicating with me how they were doing for each meal. She let me know that one of the more introverted cats adored her upon first meeting, and that made me so happy! Solaima was respectful of my space and updated me promptly after every visit. I definitely would reach out to her again - I highly recommend booking with Solaima!”
“Sabrina is a fantastic cat sitter! She’s attentive, communicative and I always know my cat is in good hands. I’ve booked her several times now and will continue to do so. Thank you Sabrina for all you do!”
“Katie was awesome! Very professional, easy to communicate with and took great care of our cats while we were away. She even stayed longer than expected because our cats were curled up with her. Would definitely recommend & use her services again!”
“Ingrid was a huge help with our puppy, Bubba. She was available to watch him extremely last minute and even squeezed in a quick meet and greet in the AM! 10/10 stars. Thanks Ingrid 😀”
“Jessica was a wonderful cat sitter, very kind and communicative. She went above and beyond, often staying later than needed and I came home to a very happy and well groomed cat. She even washed his dishes…totally not needed but so appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Haowen did a great job watching my two cats! Played with them lots and gave them lots of love. I really appreciate the flexibility working with my last minute booking.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Vee was lovely to work with from start to finish. She took wonderful care of Louis and was so sweet and attentive with him, spending time playing with him and giving him lots of cuddles. It was clear he was comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have Vee care for him again and would definitely recommend her!
Jenna took wonderful care of my cats! She was very reliable, kept me updated, and sent pictures during her visits, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cats were clearly well cared for, and I felt very comfortable having her look after them. I would definitely recommend Jenna and would be happy to book her again!
Serena is an excellent cat sitter who was willing to accommodate a last minute booking. She is very detailed in her updates on each session and was even willing to scoop litter and take out trash before we returned. She just clearly loves hanging out with cats and our boy loved his time with her. Highly recommend!
Jing is extremely patient and attentive! She took so many adorable photos during the stay. My cats were a bit shy at first, but Jing was super patient and gave them all the gentle companionship they needed to feel comfortable. Communication with her was smooth and clear, and she was very flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Boston on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,802 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Boston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Boston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
